Francis is already doing so, as you'd know if you were paying attention.

Did you think you were challenging me with this question, Share?!? Did
you not bother to read my last sentence beyond the semicolon!?!

It's just so startling hearing something like that these days from
anyone but a librul-type Protestant or Jew. Francis is really busting
up the contemporary image of Roman Catholicism. Of course Church
doctrine has always had a very strong social-justice,
caring-for-the-oppressed component; it just hasn't been the most
evident theme in recent times.

Very good that he actually said it. I am not terribly religious
myself, though he has a lot of influence, being The Pope, and all.

But you don't have to be the Pope to figure this out.

Powerful stuff.
I think if Bhairitu reads it, he'll immediately convert

I like this guy - He tells the truth, straight up.
Even as the American Dream becomes less obtainable for
most here, he points out, plainly, that the rest of the
world, is suffering, far more than we do in the West;
wars are waged simply for economic gain, rampant
consumerism is dehumanizing everyone, and 'trickle down
economics' is a naive idea, at best, and clearly does not
work.
